Both threads were taken down without warning or a private message, they obeyed all of the 'rules': No name calling No personal attacks (i.e. "You're an idiot if you think that") No unqualified one-liner potshots (i.e. "All republicans suck!") No trolling Be kind, considerate and responsible I was simply pointing out two large society impact articles to this forum: Female Sperm, Lesbian Reproduction and US Catholic church paid 615 mln dlrs for abuse cases in 2007 If you feel this was inappropriate please message me |

Yes, I very much agree. Those posts did not break any rules, and were both extremely interesting. There are other existing threads, however, that break nearly all of the rules. I recommend making a complaint to Steve himself. |

The links weren't inappropriate, I took them down only because there was no original content or comments added to the articles when you posted them. The threads were just links with quoted excerpts from the articles, with no analysis whatsoever. Nothing against linking, but please add some original content or analysis as well. |

Election, Final Fantasy Style At the moment there are two threads presenting only Youtube links on the front page of this forum: Obama youtube video Slick Willy fakes crying in front of cameras Could you please clarify why only the OP's threads were taken down, and not these others? | |

The first link has only a picture and no link. From our general forum rules: Quote:
In general we are more strict with the forum rules with new members, especially when it comes to linking to outside material. We don't want that people to only sign up at our forum to promote third party websites. andyoyo could also violate the copyright of the person who wrote the orginal article through his big excerpt.
